To be able to endure odium is the first art to be learned by those who aspire to power.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I learned from the example of my father that the manner in which one endures what must be endured is more important than the thing that must be endured.
Art is one thing that can go on mattering once it has stopped hurting.
I've learned that I'm most powerful when I'm doing my art.
Never can the innate power of a work be hidden or locked away. A work of art can be forgotten by time; it can be forbidden and rejected but the elemental will always prevail over the ephemeral.
Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.
To play safe, I prefer to accept only one type of power: the power of art over trash, the triumph of magic over the brute.
Anything that endures over time sacrifices its ability to make an impression.
The manner in which one endures what must be endured is more important than the thing that must be endured.
Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate.
Art and nature shall always be wrestling until they eventually conquer one another so that the victory is the same stroke and line: that which is conquered, conquers at the same time.
